Email clogged

I received over 2000 junk mail items and am now unable to delete them. I have tried choosing them all with the standard delete function and let the Treo 650 sit for over an hour while attempting to delete with no luck. Any suggestions?

This is probably not the easiest, but what about cleaning up your e-mail from your PC, e.g. through Outlook, web interface, etc.? Then you could wipe your e-mail on the Treo and start fresh. Although this is not a longterm solution because the spammers have your e-mail address. You might want to get a g-mail account and switch. They have good spam filtering.

This won't solve your problem, but once this is resolved, you might want to look into an IMAP mail server along with Chatter for your email client. At least this way you'd be able to delete the emails from a PC.

not sure what email app you use but all the ones I have used have a Purge function - as in purge Inbox - which would delete everything en masse in your in tray.

This is a great suggestion. Let me tell you why: I made a significant code change to software project at work; this piece of software is designed to send critical errors to the developer (me) by way of email. The change I made created a MASSIVE bug causing THOUSANDS of emails to be generated, and in turn, sent to me.

All I had to do with my IMAP mailbox was delete the emails from my desktop and then reload my Chatter email box.
